        I think I understand what you mean with that, but you say it
        in a mudled way.. "PCI bus" can mean many things, after all.

        Some Alpha systems have multiple Host/PCI interfaces, e.g.
        they do have separate PCI busses attached to the CPU crossbar.

        This is separate thing from more common single Host/PCI interface
        plus PCI/PCI bridges, which bridged backends are also called busses,
        but they all are within the Host/PCI interface space.

        Cleaning the code a bit:

> + if (root->start > 0xffffffffUL) {
> + min |= root->start & ~0xffffffffUL;
> + }

  +#if BITS_PER_LONG > 32
  + min |= root->start & ~0xffffffffUL;
  +#endif

        At 64-bit machines we don't need to care about doing some extra
        test in case we might not need to use that code, plus at 32-bit
        machines it would never execute anyway. Right ?
